A DOCUMENTARY film about coal expansion in Australia will be screened in Taree this Thursday (April 26), in a bid to raise awareness of what is happening in parts of Australia.
The deadline for submissions to the NSW Government’s proposed Strategic Regional Land Use Policy is on May 3 and the organisers hope this documentary may prompt people to write to the government with their concerns - particularly as coal mining and coal seam gas extraction is a big issue in the Gloucester region.
The documentary Bimblebox was shown at Byron Bay Film Festival and a guest speaker at the Taree screening will be Graham Brown from the Hunter Valley, who features in the film.
The screening will be at the Uniting Church hall, Albert Street, Taree, at 6.30pm on Thursday April 26.
Entry is $5 per person, which will go towards the costs of making the film.
Haw River Films and the owners of Bimblebox Nature Refuge teamed up to produce a film aimed at drawing international attention to the issue surrounding the huge expansion of coal and coal seam gas mining in Australia (particularly the expansions planned in Queensland and New South Wales).
